Post: yeah it was reported a few seconds after upload (I had network access suspended and it all went thru when i enabled it again) ok so if the replica DB has to catch up before the site is update, then i guess that would explin what i'm seeing... thanks, Paul. |

Post: Hi All, just recently back crunchin after a long absence, so this may have been covered before (but i cant find it!). Anyway, on my computer, I have processed this work unit. It processed ok, uploaded and reported. However it is still showing as inprogress in the task list for the computer. The task detail show the sterr which if I remember correctly suggestst the result has been uploaded ok? From my logs, I can see the result uploading and reporting... 31/03/2010 14:06:47 SETI@home Computation for task ap_22mr07ae_B4_P0_00216_20100327_23773.wu_1 finished 31/03/2010 17:03:51 SETI@home Started upload of ap_22mr07ae_B4_P0_00216_20100327_23773.wu_1_0 31/03/2010 17:03:57 SETI@home Finished upload of ap_22mr07ae_B4_P0_00216_20100327_23773.wu_1_0 31/03/2010 17:04:36 SETI@home Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 31/03/2010 17:04:36 SETI@home Reporting 3 completed tasks, requesting new tasks for GPU 31/03/2010 17:04:41 SETI@home Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 31/03/2010 17:04:41 SETI@home Message from server: (Project has no jobs available) Any idea why its still showing as in progress? It should have gone to 'waiting for validation'... Cheers, Paul. |

Allen Telescope Array Begins Scientific Observations
(Message 660415)
Posted 16 Oct 2007 by [B^S] Paul@home
Post: Hmmm, this smacks of politics to me! If SETI@home (us) and SETI institiute are both run out of UC Berkeley, then doesnt it make sense that they collaberate? on a scientific level at least? ie share data, results, theories.. Even if funding/personell is to be kept seperate, the aim of both projects is one and the same... or am i missing something? It could well be that SETI@home (us) can give the Allen array a massive, free boost of CPU power for signal analasys. And the Allen aray can give us a new source of data, potentially sampling from a larger area of space that Arecibo... That way everybody wins. The 'spoils' of the search will still be within UC berkeley... not that that kind of thing would matter! ;) cant we all just get along?! cheers, Paul. |

. . . Irish Archaeology
(Message 346323)
Posted 23 Jun 2006 by [B^S] Paul@home
Post: When I complete my studies here in the states I would love to continue on with my post-graduate work there. I hope you are ready for politics, legal battles, information campaigns etc! Any time there are new developments over here that may have an impact on a "historical" site then the conservationists claim we shouldn't build there. Unfortunately, on a small island with several thousand years history, almost everywhere has some sort of historical / archaeological interest In many cases they have valid points, in many cases not. For example, completion of the motorway ring round around Dublin (our capital city) was delayed for over 2 years because it involved removal of few stubs of walls from an old site. Look at the photos here. There was not exactly much of the site left to begin with! Work on the M3 motorway is also being delayed as a result of court cases etc, due to possible implications to the Hill of Tara and its surrounding areas. The Hill of Tara has been an important focal point in Ireland for thousands of years. Originally was a Stone Age passage tomb, and more recently (1500 to 2000 years ago) was the seat of the high kings of Ireland. (Ancient Irish quote - “All roads lead to Taraâ€Â) In this case, I believe the objections are valid because it is known that there is a very high concentration of unexcavated settlements etc in the area and there are other viable and realistic routes for the motorway. Here is an artists impression of the Hill of Tara after the motorway is built! :) cheers, Paul. |

Can't rename state file: Error -1
(Message 344791)
Posted 21 Jun 2006 by [B^S] Paul@home
Post: The state file (client state i presume?) is a BOINC system file and is not specifically tied to any project you can reset. If it is in relation to one project, which project is it? Is it happening to them all? If its happening for one only then try detaching from that one and reattaching.... that should clear down any probs. I 'm assuming that since you have reset already then you hav no active tasks? Did you fully shutdown BOINC before you upgraded? If you are running as service it may be worth your while to reboot the machine (or manually stop/start the service again if you know how). It may be worth doing that anyway just to make sure the file is not open in memory anywhere... cheers, Paul |

Seti Bete: Do credits count towards seti?
(Message 229612)
Posted 11 Jan 2006 by [B^S] Paul@home
Post: Is SetiBeta going to continue after Enhanced moves here? Is there more enhancements, etc. that are going to be tested and tried? From some of the hints over in the Beta forums, it seems 'AStropulse' may be tested over there. Whether that is being integrated into the existing (well.. new ;) ) app or being developed separatley I dont know.... cheers, Paul. |

(Message 229598)
Posted 11 Jan 2006 by [B^S] Paul@home
Post: the credits are comparable - ie work done to get 100 credits on Beta equates to work done to get 100 credits here. That being one of the great things about BOINC - you can compare credits across projects and know they are a comparable measure of work done in each project As far as I know there is no plan to move credits from beta to here when _enhanced is brought live. Beta is being treated as a separate project (which it is!) cheers, Paul. |

You are, of course, correct! :) I just guesses it was an administrator account as that is the XP home default when creating new users... (but thats another conversation!!) .....and I just assumed XP home! Apologies if I confused anyone! cheers, Paul. |

Posted 5 Jan 2006 by [B^S] Paul@home
Post: Yes you can still use the manager if you want to but it is not required in order for BOINC to run. There are no additional icons added to the system tray unless you start the manager. Unfortunatley you do need a password to install in this way but there is a a couple of work arounds... 1. set a user password, install the software using that name and password. After installation, configure the service to run using a system account rather than a user account (in the servives control window). Remove the users password again. 2. Create a new user with a password and set the BOINC service to use that account rather than the users account. cheers, Paul. |

Post: Hi Aaron, you can install BOINC using 'Service Install' option. This is the 3rd install type when you start the windows installer. This lets BOINC start when the computer boots but it does not require the manager to run. cheers, Paul. |
